America’s Got Talent. For the past ten seasons, it’s been as much a talent show as The Curse of Oak Island is a show about historical accuracy.
Wtf oak island is awesome
Yeah, but don’t you think they exaggerate some of the historical elements even a little? At one point, they used their unrealistically diverse artifact collection (with bobby-dazzlers made from everywhere except China) to promote the idea the ancient Romans discovered Canada (Rome was barely aware of even Iceland).
squints at the Fermi paradox
Umm life?
“Paradox” is a strong word when you sit on a speck of dust middle of nowhere and can barely see.
There should be life ahead of us and life behind us.
We can see about 10,000 other solar systems with our naked eyes.
We can see 217,000 with a pair of binoculars
5.3 million with a 3-in telescope
380 million with a 15-in telescope
I can’t find the number for a 64 node earthwide radio telescope but If we were going to find life it would probably be with that.
You’re right, but that’s the ‘paradox’. Given our most pessimistic estimates for the chances of life we should have seen at least something that was a huge give away by now. Maybe better telescopes and observation methods will find them, we can get a spectrum from exoplanets. That’s incredible; but so far all we see with our telescopes is more lifeless space. That doesn’t mean they’re not out there, it means our estimates are wrong. It probably means that we just don’t understand what factors are required to create life very well and advanced life is incredibly rare.
And yet. We wouldn’t see ourselves from Alpha Centari unless there was deliberate directed transmission.

Also pugs. Really just any animal bred to have a smooshed face
50,000 Square Foot Mansions. Such a waste.
I agree. How are you gonna make a mansion with just a square foot? Let alone 50,000 of them.
Fake chocolate flavors.
In the same vein but two completely different ends of the spectrum: Nestle and most American chocolate because it tastes gross
I have never heard of that. Is this something like Mockolate in that one Friends episode?
The Matrix sequels. All of them.
they are fine. except the 4th. that should have been never existed.
I know lots of people hate the sequels, but they add to the story, it’s another question they are… just action movies with a little bit of early 2000s cringe.
I honestly appreciated some of the tongue in cheek self awareness of the 4th movie, but it was overall just another long series of action sequences. The first movie was a movie with mystery and a story to it beyond contrived excuses to use bullet time. The sequels are very low on substance. Not a big fan.
Well, the 4th was a sequel to deliberately end all future sequels.
I understand that, but this reasoning as well don’t really help on it at all. ruining something nice because “fuck you all” is just… I don’t even know.
edit: I think Matrix could have been a great series, even with something main plot that the 4th one had. or a cartoon. I know lot of frenchise went downhill after taking this path, but it’s something that would have fit nicely with Matrix.

God.Gods.Which one?
Good point! I should rewrite it from God to Gods.
have you heard the good news?
I heard that there are people far in the north that claim that this is already the case, do you mean that?
yes
But why?
Imperfect political and economic systems like our current version of capitalism and democracy. (Both could be better, or even replaced by something different which is better.)
Violence.
Judging without critical and unbiased thinking.
I’m curious how you propose we achieve a perfect political system without building on a series of imperfect ones?
These Boston dynamics robot dogs
But in reality, military aerial drones are much more terrifying. It sounds like a sci-fi dystopia that a billionaire could type your name, press a kill button, and within a few minutes a drone locates and bombs you. But this tech has already existed for over a decade, and is being used by the US in the Middle East and North Africa.
I don’t think you just type a name and set it to go. Someone is remotely piloting that drone.
Corrupt politicians
